In this undated handout photograph provided by the Guinness World Records book, record holder Radhakant Bajpai is seen with his more than 5 inches (12.5 centimeters) long ear hair, the longest in the world. In the United States, the Guinness book is a favorite of 10 year-olds, but in India, Guinness records are the stuff of national headlines. For millions in new India who don't have access to earning prestigious degrees and staggering salaries, aiming for world records, no matter how ridiculous, provides a much-needed outlet in the rigid and hierarchical society, say world-beaters.
